Miami is the seventh studio album by James Gang, released in 1974.
This album is the last with lead guitarist Tommy Bolin before he left to join Deep Purple. The front cover is a black version of their second album, James Gang Rides Again with the new title and a pink flamingo added at the bottom.
Critical reception
Writing for Allmusic, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote of the album "Again, there was a noticeable lack of memorable songs, but Miami is worthwhile for guitar aficionados."
